Supreme Court: DHS May Proceed With Ending TPS for Haiti and Syria While Lawsuits Continue (Decision June 25, 2026)
In a June 25, 2026 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) statute bars judicial review of non-constitutional challenges to TPS termination decisions. The ruling lifted lower-court orders that had postponed the planned terminations for Haiti and Syria.
On June 25, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision in *Mullin v. Doe* (No. 25-1083) involving Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti and Syria.
TPS is a humanitarian program created by Congress that can allow eligible people from designated countries who are already in the United States to stay temporarily and apply for work authorization when conditions in their home country make return unsafe.
What the Supreme Court decided
The Court’s decision focused on whether federal courts may keep TPS in place for Haiti and Syria while lawsuits challenging the terminations continue.
The Supreme Court held that the TPS statute includes a broad bar on judicial review of non-constitutional claims challenging TPS termination decisions. The opinion quotes the statute as providing "no judicial review of any determination" of the Secretary of Homeland Security regarding the "designation, or termination or extension of a designation" of a foreign state.
As a result, the Court reversed the lower-court orders that had postponed the planned TPS terminations, meaning DHS can proceed with the terminations while the litigation continues (subject to any further government announcements and implementation steps).
What this means for you
If you or a family member has TPS (or a TPS-based work permit), this decision is a reminder that TPS protections can change quickly based on federal government action and court decisions.
Practical steps many people consider include:
- Checking whether you might qualify for another status (for example, through a family petition, employment-based option, or other humanitarian route)
- Keeping clear records of identity, work authorization, and immigration history
- Monitoring official updates for the specific country designation and any required re-registration or wind-down guidance
Because TPS situations are very fact-specific, it can help to talk with an immigration professional before deadlines arrive.
